Sure, this should be no trouble... though I should perhaps point out that 
I've been told several times that the precise relationships between herbals 
is frequently a matter of some dispute, so there may not be a definitive 
answer to be found in many cases (hence the large bibliography). :-/

I plan to make my next British Library trawl during the next 7-10 days, so 
place your orders now, ladies and gentlemen. :-)

Cheers, .....Nick P.....
